What can be included in a consent order?

Obtaining a consent order through court is the only way divorcing parties can ensure that any agreement reached is legally enforceable, but what can actually be put into a consent order?

Consent orders can include details on how you intend to fairly separate assets such as;

Money

Property

Savings & Investments

Pension sharing

Maintenance (child & spousal)

A common consent order would include a clause to sell the matrimonial home and split pensions so that both parties obtain a fair split of held assets.

A typical question that could be asked before entering into a consent order could be as follows; Will the family home be sold and the proceeds divided, or that the property will be transferred into one of the parties names?
